Appias olferna
White with black markings on edge of wing. Almost pure white when wings are closed which is why I was confused about the species...now I see that this is a variable feature...while the veins maybe prominently marked in black...the wings maybe pale too.
Adjoining University campus...an abandoned patch of land, recently cleared. On Tridax procumbens.

Thank you DanielePralong...interestingly the photo of the butterfly from Kolkata had pale wings ....in all others (in the link you provided) the veins on the wings are prominently marked.
